Sonoma, Calif.—Bob Cabral, the former director of winemaking for Williams Selyem Winery, is the new director of winemaking for Three Sticks Wines and Price Family Vineyards. Ryan Prichard, former assistant winemaker for Medlock Ames Winery, also joins Three Sticks as associate winemaker. The new team will work with Don Van Staaveren as he transitions into the role of winemaker emeritus and continues to make the Three Sticks Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Blanc and Castenada wines. “I've explored many opportunities since announcing my departure from Williams Selyem last year, and joining the Three Sticks team is the perfect opportunity for me," Cabral said in a statement. "(Owner) Bill (Price) and I share a focused passion for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and he is willing to provide the resources I need to continue to make what I expect to be the best wines of my career. … I have longed to work with the grapes from the iconic Durell and Gap's Crown vineyards.”
